Quick update and help needed!

** First few paragraphs are an update on Daya. Please be sure to read the bottom paragraph about a gentleman by the name of Dr. Heuschmann who is trying to have RollKur (aka Hyperflexion) banned from the dressage arena's! If you don't know what this is, google it, and you will be appalled at what you see.** Thanks everyone

Update: There is so much snow on the ground here that I haven't been able to do much work with Daya. Just small in hand stuff around the barn. I have been getting her accustomed to the bosal though. I figured she is so sensitive to pressure that I may as well start her in a bosal and move to a bit later. She does so well in it. She follows her nose easily and is really learning to bend with the ground work Ive been doing. She does lateral bends (foundation for the one rein stop) with just my mecate rein sitting on one finger. Now if we can only have this foal and fast forward 8 months so I can wean him we will be back in business! I want to get this girl under saddle so bad that its about to drive me bonkers.

My husband hurt his knee pretty bad about a month ago and made his first trip to the barn with me Sunday since early January and couldn't believe the change in Daya. Her belly is really filling out! Ive had to loosen her turnout blanket 3 times in the past 4 weeks! lol She still has more than 4 months to go and I can only imagine what she is going to look like by her due date.



**Rollkur / Hyperflexion Ban **
I am a subscriber of fellow blogger Wolfie @ What Was I Thinking.......?. (She has a great blog about her life with horses and everyone should check her out and subscribe). Today she has a great post that needs every ones help. There is a link in her article to a help a man put an end to Hyperflexion in the dressage ring. If he succeeds this will be the beginning of a wonderful movement that will hopefully get through to the dressage world and stop the abuse the horses are receiving to "look" pretty. Just click on the Wolfie's link above for the article that explains why this is so important and sign the petition. All it takes is a name and email! Thanks everyone!
